One of the more spirited moments during tonight's NYC mayoral debate: Dianne Morales v. Ray McGuire about views on policing. Morales: “How dare you assume to speak for Black and brown communities as a monolith? You cannot do that.” McGuire: “I just did.”
Democratic mayoral candidates took the stage Wednesday night at NBC’s fabled studio 8-H Wednesday — the longtime home of "Saturday Night Live" — fixated on using that spotlight to leave an impression on voters in the last major event before polls close next week.
The debate is of unusual consequence with such a large field of candidates all trying to take advantage of a new ranked-choice voting system, which has left no clear frontrunner with just days before polls close. The candidates on Wednesday evening piled on, trying to get in every possible attack line. Just one breakout moment or flub could scramble the field.
“New Yorkers didn't tune in tonight to hear us fight with each other," Donovan, a former Obama administration cabinet secretary, said, using a well-worn tactic of underdogs trying to get a word in.
